Vincent Dionofrio says Kampin is deadlier than ever in season 2 of Daredevil Born Again. But he's also the most human we've seen. As Mayor Fisk, the character tightens his grip on New York City with a task force enforcing his rules. Daredevil and Karen Page push back. But it's a tough fight, one step forward and two back. The Onofrio prepped hard for key scenes, like a brutal boxing match. He wears a fat suit for Fisk, so he bulked up his arms and shoulders to look real without sleeves. That meant intense workouts to match the fake girth around his waist, turning fun into a grind. The real scare comes from Fisk's emotional hits this season. Personal losses break him in intimate ways, showing his pain, love for his wife, and drive for power. To Onofrio calls it the most raw humanity yet, making a monster feel just like us.
